The power plant Bang Pakong is a power plant in the district of Bang Pakong , Province Chachoengsao , Thailand , the riverside Bang Pakong is located. It consists of a conventional thermal power plant and a combined cycle power plant .
With an installed capacity of 2,490 MW , Bang Pakong is one of the most powerful power plants in Thailand (as of May 2020). Construction of the power plant began in 1977. It went into operation in 1984 with the first two units. The power plant is owned by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and is also operated by EGAT.
Power plant units
The power plant consists of four systems. The following table gives an overview:

Units 1 and 2 of Plant 1 were shut down in 2014. A new power plant with an output of 1300 (or 1400) MW is to be built in place of the two disused units. Systems 2 to 4 each consist of two gas turbines and a downstream steam turbine . A waste heat steam generator is connected to each of the two gas turbines ; the waste heat steam generator then supplies the steam turbine.
Others
The World Bank estimated the cost of building of Unit 1 of the plant 1 and the necessary 230- kV - transmission line in 1978 to nearly 300 million USD . In 2019, EGAT announced that the power plant would use up to 160,000 t of palm oil per year to generate electricity.
